Why Thermal Beads?
Lab Armor Beads perform all the essentials—warming, thawing, incubating, and chilling—while maintaining a constant temperature, just like traditional water baths and ice buckets, but WITHOUT the risk of contamination.
Any Vessel, Any Angle
Beads naturally hold capped and non-watertight vessels in place without racks, floats, or bottleneck weights—preventing floating accidents.
Always ON
Bead-filled water baths always stay on, so you don’t have to plan around warmup times or worry about burnout because there is no water to evaporate.
Low Maintenance
Bead-filled water baths require minimal attention. A monthly spritz of 70% ethanol or isopropyl for disinfection is usually sufficient, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and refilling.
Eco-Friendly
Eliminates Harmful Biocides.
No need for germicides in bath maintenance.
Highly Recyclable.
Beads are made from solid recyclable metal.
Energy Efficient.
Bead Baths use over 4X less energy when set to 65°C and over 2X less energy at 37°C compared to traditional water baths.
Lab Armor Bead Baths are up to 50% more energy efficient than a standard laboratory water bath.
Product Features
Lab Armor® Beads are dry and naturally more resistant to microbial growth than water, and therefore, are less likely to harbor and contribute to transmitting microorganisms in the laboratory.
Lab Armor® Bead Baths minimize contamination risk, heat up quickly, and offer superior thermal retention compared to water. Plus, since they don't evaporate, they ensure stable temperatures and save energy.
The DryTemp digital dry bath offers precise control over temperature and time, eliminating the need for an external thermometer or timer. It also features a built-in user recalibration function to ensure long-term temperature accuracy.
Bead Boxes are designed for use with any standard commercially available dry bath. They eliminate the need for multiple pre-drilled aluminum heating and cooling blocks.
About
Lab Armor® LLC is a Life Science company, revolutionizing laboratory solutions. Specializing in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of advanced tools, we tackle contamination and thermal instability challenges.
We are reshaping the landscape with low-maintenance, contamination-resistant lab spaces. In our debut year, Lab Armor® Beads™ clinched the runner-up spot for the Scientists' Choice Award for Best New General Lab Product (2008), standing tall next to Nikon & JEOL’s scanning electron microscope.
Join us in transforming the future of scientific exploration!
